USS Texas (CGN-39) Details
USS Texas (DLGN/CGN-39) was the second Virginia-class nuclear guided missile cruiser. She was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of Texas.
Ship's Crest The official crest of the USS Texas CGN 39 was designed by Martha Bell, a freelance graphic designer and a Texan. The colors—red, white, and blue—represent the state flag of Texas. The anchor and the fouled line symbolize the Navy, while the Lone Star signifies the state of Texas. The atoms and orbits within the Lone Star represent the nuclear power characteristics of the ship. The three stars at the bottom represent the past United States ships named "Texas". The motto, "Proud Heritage, Proud Purpose", refers to the history and legacy of those ships, and their purpose: defense of the United States.
Worst Moment Hated this command. Nuc's suck. If you are not a NUC you don't count. Was part of PRP and that was good. My crew in RDO sucked. The shack was designed for a Destroyer, not a Cruiser. They had "outboard" on the ship and it wasn't designed to support outboard. Nothing worked. All antiquated equip and none of it worked. Hated this command. The only thing I liked about the ship were the NUC plants. I learned a lot about Nuclear Power. Was never more glad to transfer from a command.
